This blog is about my mom who was just diagnosed with vascular dementia. I am very close to my mom. She has been a big part of our family. She lives minutes from my home. Over the years she has babysat my kids numerous times. She has played beer pong with them (when they got older of course). They love Grandma Baer and she loves them. Our dog Cosmo loves"grandma" because of all the special attention she gives him meaning treats. In July of 2021 something happened that started a spiral decline in my mom's mental health. She was out with her girl friends for lunch. It was her friends 85th birthday. She called me the next day because she felt unwell. I went over her symptoms. She just had body aches, no fever, no cough...nothing else just body aches. She said she was going to lay low. I encouraged her to take some Tylenol. She didn't want visitors incase it was Covid. So I called her daily to check in on her and she recovered. But then something changed. Within a week
